Re: [jakarta.ee-community] [EXTERNAL] Status of Java Help API (JSR-97)

This is not a JSR that has ever been targeted or included in Java EE. Indeed in its current form it is targeted to the desktop/Java SE. The right place would be to ask Oracle in the JCP.

If you are proposing it should be re-targeted to Jakarta EE, you can either start fresh here or work with the Eclipse Foundation and Oracle to get it transferred here. Personally I think this would be an odd choice for a Jakarta EE or MicroProfile technology. It’s rightful place remains in the JCP since that’s where Java SE still is.

You don't often get email from ebresie@xxxxxxxxx. Learn why this is important

What is the current status of the Java Help API (JSR-97)?

Has it been abandoned?  Is there still value in it?  Are there alternatives for it?
